With Election Day just hours away, Steve Schmidt and Dean Blundell examine the chaos engulfing the final stretch of the midterm campaigns. From Haley Stevens' stunning political reversal and disastrous Anderson Cooper interview to Donald Trump's bizarre closing rallies and lavish Mar-a-Lago Halloween celebration, the conversation exposes the grievance, dysfunction, and excess defining MAGA politics. Steve predicts a major electoral rebuke for Trump — but warns that a weakened president could become even more dangerous. He explains how a new Congress must assert its constitutional authority, why divisions inside MAGA could accelerate, and what Americans must do to defend democracy after November 3. Plus, extraordinary early-voting scenes from Cleveland, the Save America Movement's Vote Safe initiative, and Steve's powerful Election Eve closing message. Tomorrow is a national character test. America or Trump.

There is a very significant, “exhausted majority” of Americans looking to move past this rotten moment in American life. They have lost trust and faith in government, business, media and not-for-profit institutions at a moment of technological, cultural and economic upheaval. Fascism did not rise in the 1930s because it was strong, but rather, because democracy was weak. The cycle is repeating itself with a new extremism rising in 2020s America. On the podcast – consistent with the mission of The Warning newsletter offered on Substack and The Warning YouTube channel – I will be joined by interesting guests – some familiar, and some you may never have heard of – to discuss the political and cultural currents that are shaping our times, as well as the unseen forces driving politics that are rarely discussed on cable news. It's important for you to hear from a diverse range of voices – not just me – about the issues facing America today.
